    Do You Feel Like You're Cheating if you use a Template?

    I had to do a quick website design for a client and I used a template. I feel so dirty now. I feel like I cheated.

    Does anyone else use templates and if so, do you feel like you're cheating your customers by doing so?

    C'mon, make me feel better about myself.

        So you charged $250 for a $10 template? That's business

        Oh, no, wait. That's cheating. What if your customer finds out that there are 10 more websites that look almost the same....

              I'll use templates for myself, but wouldnt ever charge someone else for a template site.

                depends on what they wanted to pay, how many pages and the biz their in.


                templates are fine as long as you change em up.

                    If they hire you they more than likely couldn't (or don't have the time to) manipulate a template to look the way they want or need anyway....

                        Hope you didn't charge a custon fee for a templated site. That would be fraud.
                        SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
